You have missed the legendary Shimazu's "Forward retreat", where his remaining 300 men charged straight into Tokugawa's army. Large number of soldiers on eastern army became scared of Shimazu soldiers that they just let them go through.
@@majormarketing6552 Actually, that's EXACTLY what happened; Shimazu's soldiers BROKE THROUGH encirclement, thpough at the cost of most of their men and Shimazu Toyohisa.
I honestly paused after the Footmouse bit and I was like: 'Surely they cant be serious? I mean... yeah I guess one could click with one's big toe aswell... but... what about actual control, hand-eye coordination etc. This is either a joke or a VERY stupid product.' I literally looked in the comments for a minute or two before I continued and saw it was actually an advert for Raid Shadow Legends. Oh History Marche! Should have done this April 1st! XD
Well Mitsunari wanted Hideaki executed for his failure in Korea. Ieyasu intervened against his execution . This changed the course of history at Sekigahara
@@chrisanduncensoredjapan6627 Yes, thanks for mentioning. Hideaki avenged his honour since he was stripped of his lands by Toyotomi Hideyoshi following Mitsunari's libel for his "rash" actions in Korea. A well deserved revenge if I may say.
Yes! Thank you for this video! Some facts: -Otani Yoshitsugu is thought to have had a skin disease, most probably was a leper, and still was present in the battle. -The shimazu didn't retreat to mt Tengu, they charged directly into the Tokugawa position, punctured through and escaped through the other side. Shimazu Yoshihiro's nephew, Toyohisa, died in the charge. -Hideaki hated Mitsunari since the Imjin war, when his efforts and his bravery in battle were ignored by Mitsunari which led to him being sanctioned by his uncle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. That's where the grudge came from. Tokugawa defended Hideaki before Hideyoshi. That was the favour Hideaki owed Ieyasu.
In fact, the "Eastern Army" and the "Western Army" were just how the historians addressed for the factions of pro-Tokugawa and anti-Tokugawa (not necessarily recognizing Ishida Mitsunari as the supreme leader) later. In reality, you could hardly assure which daimyo is truly loyal (or disloyal) to your side. Most of them was just like "sit-and-watch by a moment, then join the side which looked more likely to win, and then probably switch side again later if necessary". It's a very, very complicated situation in obscurity among the 250-300 daimyos involved in such a huge civil war - both Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari had been writing a great number of letters to communicate with many of the other daimyos during the AD 1600 Sekigahara Campaign. So the entire war wasn't just a military competition, but also the political competition for procuring allegiance from daimyos as many as possible. Note that who initially joined Ieyasu's eastern expedition against Uesugi was not certainly Ieyasu's ally - the most famous daimyo who turned back at this stage was Sanada Masayuki, who broke with Ieyasu and fended off the 38,000-strong "Eastern Army" (actually largely composed of Tokugawa's troops, unlike the troops sent for westward via the coastal route) 's onslaught on his homebase Ueda Castle for a while, effectively delayed Tokugawa Hidetada (Ieyasu's son and heir)'s march towards Sekigahara to reunite with his father's coalition army, depriving Ieyasu of the invaluable reinforcement which would play the key role in the engagement. Yes, it's "coalition" and around 60% of the "Eastern Army" gathering at Sekigahara wasn't commanded by Ieyasu or the Tokugawa retainers - only that 30,000-strong reserve troops belongs to the Tokugawa Clan, along with his direct retainer Il Naomasa's troops, the rest was largely the retainers "enjoyed the favor of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" (either relatives or close retainers with fief granted) who still possessed independent command over their force despite of their recognition to Ieyasu's overall leadership. In addition, I disagree with the concept about Ishida Mitsunari's side being called "loyalists" - indeed, the Toyotomi Clan at Osaka never openly supported Mitsunari albeit acting favorably towards Mitsunari and his allies. Mitsunari desperately urged Toyotomi Hideyori (or said, his mother, Yodo-dono) to give him a gesture of "official support" (for example, Hideyori showed himself at the camp of the Western Army to declare the Toyotomi Clan's stance clearly) so that Ieyasu would become "a de facto traitor" the Western Army could fully capitalize on. However, the fact that Osaka (Toyotomi) actually remained neutral and supported neither side made the nature of the entire war far different from our popular, stereotyped concept that Ieyasu and his allies were the "rebel" who betrayed Toyotomi while Mitsunari and his allies were the "loyalist" who defended the authority of Toyotomi (that made people laughing, what authority could a 8-year-old child have without any "direct retainer" powerful enough to back him up ? Maybe Maeda Toshiie could "back him up", but he had been dead in AD 1599. And his mother Yodo-dono's political influence was basically confined of Osaka). Indeed, both Ieyasu and Mitsunari claimed that their side was the true loyalist while the counterpart was the treacherous who just fought for usurpation of power. And most importantly, the Toyotomi Clan never expressed stance in this matter, so the Sekigahara Campaign was actually "the civil war between the retainers of Toyotomi Hideyori". Also note that Ishida Mitsunari was never the effective supreme leader of the Western Army, unlike Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Eastern Army, since his prestige and military power (with just around 193,000-koku domain which was far less than Ieyasu's over 2,000,000-koku) was so weak in comparison with many major daimyos - that's why he asked the more powerful Mori Clan's leader Mori Terumoto nominally takeover the position of the "commander-in-chief" as a method to attract more daimyos of the Western Japan join his side. I have even more want to utter, but let me halt here and leave to your thought.
Very interesting information indeed. My impression by reading about the battle was similar, it was obvious that both Mitsunari and Tokugawa claimed that they fought in the name of the "Taiko" and his son.
I recommend to watch the series in netlix called “Age of samurai: Battle for Japan” story is about the japan famous Unifiers starting from Oda nobunaga until tokugawa Ieyasu, if youre still longing after the Shogun series.
One of my favorite historical battles, thanks to Kessen as a child. To subvert one's enemy before the battle begins and to turn their own allies against them. It is a thing of beauty.
Kessen is such an amazing game. That cinematic focus the game took, somebody needs to make a current day game like that, the photo realistic graphics would be the missing piece kessen didn't have at the time, would be a masterpiece.
Tokugawa Hidetada was delayed to aid his father by foolishly trying to take the Ueda castle, controlled by the Sanada clan, while on the way. The Sanada were known for their tactical acumen, and held off Hidetada's much larger force.
I first learned about Sekigahara and preceeding Battles of this era by playing the original Kessen on the PS2. As a young lad that game sparked a deep interest in me to research Japanese History. Great Video as always HM.
This battle always reminds me of the speech by Robert Baratheon in GoT S1. "Which is bigger, five or one". Mitsunari's coalition never stood a chance against the united fist of Tokugawa.
The battle could have easily went the other way So saying that they never stood a chance when literally one of the three commanders, that didn't engage, engaged would have resulted in the loyalist forces victory
mitsunari would have won if mori terumoto or yodo-dono who at osaka at the time, bring young hideyori into the battle. the toyotomi at osaka still thinks that this are the fights between toyotomi's vassals. the truth is mitsunari is fight on the survivals of toyotomi's

6:32 I hate it when that happens. My neighbor just sent me a letter containing 13 accusations and condemnations 2 days ago. Because apparently I had taken too long to shovel my snow. So I laid siege to his garage, which contains his liquor supply. Without it, he is useless. I expect him to commit Sudoku any day now.
@@nomooon the forward retreat isnt featured indeed, but the entire Mori army sitting nearby and doing nothing is actually mentioned. However from what i've read it wasn't exactly a forward retreat, he circled behind mount Tengu and reached the Mori position.
The concluding battle of "The Shogun." The Eastern and Western armies combined numbered 200,000 men. A total of 25,000 guns and cannons were deployed, and a fierce battle ensued. There has never been a domestic battle of this scale in Japanese history. We would love to see this battle dramatized.
Coming here right after finishing Shogun with Hiroyuki Sanada. An absolute masterpiece and this amazing video provides the best conclusion on a epic show. Thank you!
Ishida Mitsunari and the West Armys and Toyotomi clan got stuck in Tokugawa Ieyasu's trap. This battle was one part, Ieyasu Tokugawa's plan to change over Japanese rule by Toyotomi to Tokugawa. Toyotomi Hideyoshi requested Tokugawa ieyasu to participate in the war with Ming dynasty. But, Tokugawa Ieyasu refused to participate. Hideyoshi mobilized 300000 soldiers and started a war with the Ming Dynasty, but only 150000 sent to the Korean Peninsula. The remaining 150000 were stand by in Kyushu island. It was prepared for the attack by the Ming dynasty from the sea and the Tokugawa rebellion. "profiting while others fight" (二虎競食の計、漁夫の利)
From 1590 to 1600 for about 10 years. Tokugawa was able to save power while the other daimyo were fighting. and in 1598, Hideyoshi Toyotomi died and Tokugawa etc 5 tairou(mori maeda uesugi ukita) ordered to end the war with Ming dynasty. Mitsunari Ishida was in the Toyotomi administration's office manager. war participants got angry that they had little reward. and tried to assassinate Mitsunari Ishida. Tokugawa Ieyasu was acts as an intermediary for both parties. and Tokugawa tame Fukushima or Kuroda etc anti-Ishida Daimyous. (離間の計)
after Toshiie Maeda died in 1599. sued the Maeda clan for suspicion of rebellion. In 1600, ordered Uesugi to come to Osaka castle for to the 3rd Toyotomi-Ming dynasty war campaign conference to be done next year or two years later. (承兌書状) Uesugi replied to Tokugawa "I'm too busy to go right away" "Maeda clan's case was exactly what you want". (直江状) Tokugawa Ieyasu criticized Uesugi, acting Toyotomi's loyal retainer. Toyotomi clan(Lady Yodo) provided financial support for Tokugawa's subjugation of Uesugi.
Tokugawa ieyasu slowly advanced. to wait for raising an west army by Ishida mitsunari. The position of Oyama Castle in this video is incorrect. in fact very close to Edo castle (tokyo). Tokugawa who received the report of the formation of the West Army leaves the Uesugi subjugation to Date Masamume. The main force made U-turn and advanced to the west. Tokugawa Ieyasu sent 100+ letters to each daimyo by the time he arrived at Sekigahara. at the beginning of the battle, the corner stone(15000 Kobayakawa army) and the back(Kikkawa 30000 Mori army) were controled by east army.
but there were two unexpected things. Yoshikawa who was stand by at the entrance of the mountain path succeeded in neutralizing 30000 Mori army. "we can't moving because lunchtime". But there were two unexpected things. Kobayakawa's immobility and 2nd genelation shougun Tokugawa Hidetada's incompetence. 38000 commanded by Hidetada was the elite unit of the Tokugawa army. despite that, in the battle of Ueda Castle, he couldn't make it to the battle of Sekigahara, only 2000 Sanada clan army to hard fight. Tokugawa army in Sekigahara is mostly weak soldiers. Hidetada's blunder had a great influence on later Toyotomi clan history. Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori met at 1611. Hideyori was more intelligent than Hidetada, so Ieyasu destroyed the Toyotomi family in 1615. (Osaka campaign)
Many people think that the Tokugawa era was solidified by the victory of the Sekigahara battle, but I disagree. The end of the Sengoku jidai (war era) and the long peace that lasted, it depends largely on the woman named 崇源院/お江 Gou (2nd generation shogun Hidetada's wife)and her daughters. her daughter(Tokugawa masako) married the 108th Japanese emperor(Go-mizuno). The daughter of Emperor Go-mizunou and Tokugawa Masako became 109th Japanese emperor(Meisyou). It can trace to お江Gou by going back to the current 126th Japanese Emperor genealogy now. In other words, now, Japanese emperor is descendant of Oda clan Azai clan Toyotomi clan Tokugawa clan.
What I love about this channel is the ability to expand into the ideology, personal background, reasoning and details of its chosen battles/people. This video lacks what you usually excel at, and I don’t understand why. Furthermore, the Sengoku period can be a pool of perfect content for this channel; it’s a shame you introduced it with it’s final battle.
Just finished the book "Shogun" by James Clavell and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Japan in this period. It's a really intriguing fictionalized story, although it's based on the actual events of the time.
Oh boy, it's been a while since someone talked about the Japanese. Isn't it kinda ironic that the "loyalist" side of this conflict had 2 generals ignoring their orders to attack and a third one changing sides completely?
It begs the question though, loyal to what ? We all know if we've read the history of Japan at that time, that this 'loyalty' to the forces of the regent, succeeded by the council of regents, were built on very shaky foundations. Not just militarily or socially , but very much culturally.
It's not ironic, both sides were Toyotomi loyalists, they were fighting over the regency of the young Hideyori. Ishida Mitsunari wasn't their lord, he was just the guy at the head of the anti-Ieyasu faction. His problem was that he was a glorified desk clerk among a bunch of battle-hardened warriors who didn't respect him.
@@Seraphil1 Saying that Ieyasu would be a Toyotomi loyalist is quite a bit of a stretch Given that it is Ieyasu who would later wipe out the Toyotomi clan and kill both Hideyoshi's son and grandson
Another fact is that Naomasa Ii's Red Devils were inspired by Masakage Yamagata, one of Shingen's top generals for whom he donned the red armour from the Furinkazan, the Takeda's banner "as fierce as fire". Sadly, he and all other generals were killed at Nagashino
While most people are busy making Total war references, here I am adding in the key details of Otani turning into a demon and dark wizards summoning a giant skeleton from all the dead corpses. Clearly, I have played too much Nioh.
Can't understand how the western army could have lost. Look how well their amazing cavalry backs uphill while staying in formation. Such masterful horsemanship could not possibly be defeated.
first of all , i am really starting to like the narator, i was used with Alex's voice, second of all, really nice you are diversefying the locations and history periods, but....hopefully you have not forgoten hannibal, and more ancient history battles will come :D Thanks to all the team involved in HistoryMarche channel!!Great job!
Tokugawa's firearms were supplied by Anjin San, a European named Richard Blackthorn. He was found shipwrecked in Japan but eventually gained the trust of the warlord and rose through the court. He even had an affair with the senior translator and helped Tokugawa escape a hostage situation by being dressed as a woman. - Shogun, a novel by James Clavel, later made into successful tv series.

I love your content, and love watching videos about this battle. I will say as a minor complaint that the locations of some of the castles like Gifu and Ogaki seem a little bit off, but I suppose for legibility that might have been a necessary change. I live in Ogaki myself so I like to visit the sites of all of these battles, and the one for Sekigahara is worth checking out to get a feel for the scale of things! Keep up the great work!

Excellent production, as usual. Thank you!
Thank you sir.
I have been waiting for that video since I was 17 when I read SHOGUN for the first time, about 20 years ago thank you so much HISTORY MARCHE
Glad you enjoyed it!
6:32 I hate it when that happens. My neighbor just sent me a letter containing 13 accusations and condemnations 2 days ago. Because apparently I had taken too long to shovel my snow. So I laid siege to his garage, which contains his liquor supply. Without it, he is useless. I expect him to commit Sudoku any day now.
Best thing to watch during quarantine 👍🏻💙👋🏻❤️
You missed the Shimazu's legendary forward retreat.
Also the entire Mori army sitting on its ass and just watching from hills nearby...
@@nomooon the forward retreat isnt featured indeed, but the entire Mori army sitting nearby and doing nothing is actually mentioned.
However from what i've read it wasn't exactly a forward retreat, he circled behind mount Tengu and reached the Mori position.
Loving the new graphics and animations! They're awesome. Great video as always!
Glad you like them! Hoc Est Bellum takes most of the credit in this one. Make sure to check out his channel as well. Link is in the description.
The concluding battle of "The Shogun."
The Eastern and Western armies combined numbered 200,000 men. A total of 25,000 guns and cannons were deployed, and a fierce battle ensued. There has never been a domestic battle of this scale in Japanese history. We would love to see this battle dramatized.
AOI Tokugawa
Love this channel
Allways fan of your presentation skills and the voice Woau such a nice intro
Great as always Historymarche! Love those collaboration of yours 😃
Thank you KHK! Love to see you come by to check out my videos!
You'll always find me here your videos are masterpiece!
@@KHK001 Hoc Est Bellum actually takes most of the credit here. It was his idea to cover the history of Japan.
Thanks I'll check his videos again too :)
Too nice video about depth past of Japan 👍👍
A surprise, but a welcome one 🔥🔥🔥
Are you going to cover more of the Sengokou era in the future?
Quite possible.
@@HistoryMarche Please do Okehazama, the battle between Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto 🙇♀️
Or maybe Toyotomi Invasion of Korea, no one cover that war till today
Coming here right after finishing Shogun with Hiroyuki Sanada. An absolute masterpiece and this amazing video provides the best conclusion on a epic show. Thank you!
Ishida Mitsunari and the West Armys and Toyotomi clan got stuck in Tokugawa Ieyasu's trap.
This battle was one part, Ieyasu Tokugawa's plan to change over Japanese rule by Toyotomi to Tokugawa.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi requested Tokugawa ieyasu to participate in the war with Ming dynasty.
But, Tokugawa Ieyasu refused to participate.
Hideyoshi mobilized 300000 soldiers and started a war with the Ming Dynasty, but only 150000 sent to the Korean Peninsula.
The remaining 150000 were stand by in Kyushu island.
It was prepared for the attack by the Ming dynasty from the sea and the Tokugawa rebellion.
"profiting while others fight" (二虎競食の計、漁夫の利)
From 1590 to 1600 for about 10 years.
Tokugawa was able to save power while the other daimyo were fighting.
and in 1598, Hideyoshi Toyotomi died and Tokugawa etc 5 tairou(mori maeda uesugi ukita) ordered to end the war with Ming dynasty.
Mitsunari Ishida was in the Toyotomi administration's office manager.
war participants got angry that they had little reward. and tried to assassinate Mitsunari Ishida.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was acts as an intermediary for both parties. and Tokugawa tame Fukushima or Kuroda etc anti-Ishida Daimyous. (離間の計)
after Toshiie Maeda died in 1599. sued the Maeda clan for suspicion of rebellion.
In 1600, ordered Uesugi to come to Osaka castle for to the 3rd Toyotomi-Ming dynasty war campaign conference
to be done next year or two years later. (承兌書状)
Uesugi replied to Tokugawa "I'm too busy to go right away" "Maeda clan's case was exactly what you want". (直江状)
Tokugawa Ieyasu criticized Uesugi, acting Toyotomi's loyal retainer.
Toyotomi clan(Lady Yodo) provided financial support for Tokugawa's subjugation of Uesugi.
Tokugawa ieyasu slowly advanced. to wait for raising an west army by Ishida mitsunari.
The position of Oyama Castle in this video is incorrect. in fact very close to Edo castle (tokyo).
Tokugawa who received the report of the formation of the West Army leaves the Uesugi subjugation to Date Masamume. The main force made U-turn and advanced to the west.
Tokugawa Ieyasu sent 100+ letters to each daimyo by the time he arrived at Sekigahara.
at the beginning of the battle, the corner stone(15000 Kobayakawa army) and the back(Kikkawa 30000 Mori army) were controled by east army.
but there were two unexpected things.
Yoshikawa who was stand by at the entrance of the mountain path succeeded in neutralizing 30000 Mori army.
"we can't moving because lunchtime".
But there were two unexpected things.
Kobayakawa's immobility and 2nd genelation shougun Tokugawa Hidetada's incompetence.
38000 commanded by Hidetada was the elite unit of the Tokugawa army.
despite that, in the battle of Ueda Castle, he couldn't make it to the battle of Sekigahara, only 2000 Sanada clan army to hard fight.
Tokugawa army in Sekigahara is mostly weak soldiers.
Hidetada's blunder had a great influence on later Toyotomi clan history.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Toyotomi Hideyori met at 1611.
Hideyori was more intelligent than Hidetada, so Ieyasu destroyed the Toyotomi family in 1615. (Osaka campaign)
Many people think that the Tokugawa era was solidified by the victory of the Sekigahara battle, but I disagree.
The end of the Sengoku jidai (war era) and the long peace that lasted, it depends largely on the woman named 崇源院/お江 Gou (2nd generation shogun Hidetada's wife)and her daughters.
her daughter(Tokugawa masako) married the 108th Japanese emperor(Go-mizuno).
The daughter of Emperor Go-mizunou and Tokugawa Masako became 109th Japanese emperor(Meisyou).
It can trace to お江Gou by going back to the current 126th Japanese Emperor genealogy now.
In other words, now, Japanese emperor is descendant of Oda clan Azai clan Toyotomi clan Tokugawa clan.
Great content like always. Continue History March
Here because of the Shogun Series.
that was one of the greatest advertisements on RUclips i've ever seen, arguably rivaling Internet Historian's
What I love about this channel is the ability to expand into the ideology, personal background, reasoning and details of its chosen battles/people. This video lacks what you usually excel at, and I don’t understand why. Furthermore, the Sengoku period can be a pool of perfect content for this channel; it’s a shame you introduced it with it’s final battle.
I love your content !
Grettings from proud nation of Poland !
Glad you enjoy it!
That footmouse-Raid ad had me surprised. Congrats
Great video!
I watch your channel as I sleep it's so relaxing for me lol idk why, but thank you plz never stop,
Thank you for making Quarantine a fun and educational time!
Glad you enjoy it!
I love the sound & graphic of this documentary..MilitaryMarche
One of the REALLY decisive battles of history.
Hope this channel will have a series about Korea-Japan war in 1598
Oh yes, this is quite possible...
Shhh :)
Amazing video! I adore the animations! Well done
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this great work
Glad you enjoyed it!

Just finished the book "Shogun" by James Clavell and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Japan in this period. It's a really intriguing fictionalized story, although it's based on the actual events of the time.
Clavell's books are a blast check out the Tai Pan series if you haven't already.
Whirlwind is another fantastic Clavell novel!
Great video, thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
Yes!! Ive been looking forward to another video in the Japan series for ages!
More to come!
history marche congratulation on your first japanese video
Cheers 🎉
Super nice video with effective voice of introducing thanks of clear explaining of events
Yes! YES!!!! More of this era and country!!! Love u !
There will be more to come.
Oh boy, it's been a while since someone talked about the Japanese.
Isn't it kinda ironic that the "loyalist" side of this conflict had 2 generals ignoring their orders to attack and a third one changing sides completely?
It begs the question though, loyal to what ? We all know if we've read the history of Japan at that time, that this 'loyalty' to the forces of the regent, succeeded by the council of regents, were built on very shaky foundations. Not just militarily or socially , but very much culturally.
It's not ironic, both sides were Toyotomi loyalists, they were fighting over the regency of the young Hideyori. Ishida Mitsunari wasn't their lord, he was just the guy at the head of the anti-Ieyasu faction. His problem was that he was a glorified desk clerk among a bunch of battle-hardened warriors who didn't respect him.
@@Seraphil1 Saying that Ieyasu would be a Toyotomi loyalist is quite a bit of a stretch
Given that it is Ieyasu who would later wipe out the Toyotomi clan and kill both Hideyoshi's son and grandson
After 250 years of rule. Came another turmoil of bloody carnage and mayhem in the form of the meji restoration and the end of the shoguns authority.
Another fact is that Naomasa Ii's Red Devils were inspired by Masakage Yamagata, one of Shingen's top generals for whom he donned the red armour from the Furinkazan, the Takeda's banner "as fierce as fire". Sadly, he and all other generals were killed at Nagashino
Naomasa actually lived through the battle hut suffered an injury that would cause his death 2 years later
Most Red Demons were actually Takeda retainers who flocked to Ii Naomasa during Tokugawa-Hojo conflict.
You guys are phenomenal. Love the vids!
Thanks so much!
While most people are busy making Total war references, here I am adding in the key details of Otani turning into a demon and dark wizards summoning a giant skeleton from all the dead corpses. Clearly, I have played too much Nioh.
ROFL!
Dude I am in love with your voice mate
Been looking forwards to this one!
Great job.
Although not so interested in Japanese history but your presentation is fantastic as always
Thank you very much!
Can't understand how the western army could have lost. Look how well their amazing cavalry backs uphill while staying in formation. Such masterful horsemanship could not possibly be defeated.
first of all , i am really starting to like the narator, i was used with Alex's voice, second of all, really nice you are diversefying the locations and history periods, but....hopefully you have not forgoten hannibal, and more ancient history battles will come :D
Thanks to all the team involved in HistoryMarche channel!!Great job!
Thank you for the kind words. As a matter of fact, Hannibal part 9 should be finished in a few days.
Always great 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I saw add about footmouse lol that was funny🤣🤣 you guys are doing great job
Well done and very interesting as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice can't wait to Finish the vid
I knew a lot about this battle. But it seems that I didn't know everything about it. Nice job. This was a fun video.
History Marche you got me big time with that foot mouse ad I was about to start looking at reviews thinking you were serious lmao.
Thank god historymarche exists otherwise this lockdown would be unbearable
Have you considered moving to nature documentary’s your voice is brilliant
Siege of Osaka next? Awesome content as always.
More to come definitely, but it's a secret :)
Great raid ad. Best I've seen so far. Lol. Totally had me for a second
Great work Sir thank you
Awesome episode, more of Sengoku Jidai please!
Tokugawa's firearms were supplied by Anjin San, a European named Richard Blackthorn.
He was found shipwrecked in Japan but eventually gained the trust of the warlord and rose through the court. He even had an affair with the senior translator and helped Tokugawa escape a hostage situation by being dressed as a woman.
- Shogun, a novel by James Clavel, later made into successful tv series.
me : watching youtube with ad blocker on
americans : talking about footmouse ads
me : curious ... googles
drunk brain : buy it !

3:39 i like to imagine the narrator guy speak like this all the time .. like he's just at the super market asking how the cashiers day is with this tone and cadence lol
Hahaha
Now I want to play samurai warriors again
Nonsense, the legend is that Tokugawa Wolololo’d Hideaki’s forces and won

This Channel is gold FOOTMOUSE😂
Thank you for your great videos! They inspired me to start my own channel. Keep up the good work!
Holly Sh*t, i just started watching "Drifters" and now this? Talk about a coincidence!
LEAVE YOUR HEAD HERE!
Gorgeous animations, what a pleasure to follow!
Thank you so much 😀
Incredible how far video games have brought me. Getting interested in other cultures. And teached me history from other countries such as japan and china. Thank you capcom
Thank you Koei
I love your content, and love watching videos about this battle. I will say as a minor complaint that the locations of some of the castles like Gifu and Ogaki seem a little bit off, but I suppose for legibility that might have been a necessary change. I live in Ogaki myself so I like to visit the sites of all of these battles, and the one for Sekigahara is worth checking out to get a feel for the scale of things!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tips!
